Anthropic has restored global access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models after the Trump administration relaxed export controls imposed two weeks prior. The restrictions, which had prompted Anthropic to suspend access for all users due to national security and foreign national usage concerns, were lifted following collaboration between the company and U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. To prevent future conflicts, Anthropic announced it will scale up government collaboration, prerelease frontier models for federal review, and work with tech giants like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google to establish a shared industry framework for assessing model vulnerabilities.
In their words
“Our hope is that this collaboration, along with our proposed consensus industry framework, will serve as the basis for systematic rules for the whole industry - and even offer the beginning of a template for effective global coordination on the risks and benefits of AI”
